Another good place for foreign products -- including imported foods, wines, electronics, etc. is Costco. It costs $35 a year for membership (if you don't have a friend who will take you). Membership is unconditionally guaranteed -- you can quit and get your money back, and all products also have money-back guarantees.

Costco is like a warehouse and sells large sizes or quantities of most things. It has many products that aren't found easily in Korea, and the prices are usually at or near the lowest anywhere.

There is also a big E-mart, maybe the biggest in Korea, near the Yangjae location (Subway 3 line -- map at http://www.costco.co.kr/eng/whs_853.htm ). Maps for 4 other locations in Daegu, Daejeon and two more near subway stops in Seoul can be found at that site, too.

Closest place I've found with real Tim Tams is Thailand. Not much help, I know. Other countries have the Indonesian made (licensed by Arnott's) Tim Tams. Next time I go to Thailand I'll take some orders.

Mgirl.. just have your mum get somethings at the shops and box it up you will have everything you want in a week! worth the cost!!
